Densha Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Saw the Yuki (Snow) Miku trams, and they are kawaii! Question for you guys though...are there ANY commercially available power chassis the shells can be dropped on for operations? And if so, which ones? See my post here: http://www.jnsforum.com/community/topic/998-what-did-you-order-or-the-post-deliver/?p=81094 Hope that helps! Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It's based on a greenmax model so far I know and I know think it can be motorized by some Tomix/Tomytec power unit but I have no idea which.But this month Tomytec will release the Keihan 600 in normal livery and they have produced a new power unit especially for that one, maybe that would fit: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10205587 But I know there's more information available, I just don't have time to look it up now. Yep, it'll come out in two days (thursday) if my information is correct. TamTam awaits my return. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Smashing! Refering to the post by bill937ca & myself here: http://www.jnsforum.com/community/topic/998-what-did-you-order-or-the-post-deliver/?p=81101 Can this be used to motorised the Keihan AKB048 wrapping train? @ Toni: Are you referring to the Eva or the Keihan? I thought the Eva is scheduled to release in July and the Keihan in May? Link to comment
ToniBabelony Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 @ Toni: Are you referring to the Eva or the Keihan? I thought the Eva is scheduled to release in July and the Keihan in May? Power unit to motorise the Keihan 600 trains. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Power unit to motorise the Keihan 600 trains. Thanks Toni! Will you be getting the Keihan 600 AKB-48 train too? Just wish to confirm, so the TM-20 N-Gauge Power Unit For Railway Collection, 15m Class C (Model Train) http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10205587 coming out on Thursday can be used to motorise the Keihan 600 trains, while the TM-06 N-Gauge Power Unit For Railway Collection, For 18m Class A (Model Train http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10049881 is for the Tomytec Eva train? Just wish to get the correct systems right for the correct trains. Speaking of which, is it easy to convert the trains using these chassis? Sorry for the noob question as i never had any experience on this... Link to comment
Densha Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 The fourth picture from above is the Evangelion train: http://blog.miyakomokei.com/?p=5370 Link to comment

JR 500系 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 The fourth picture from above is the Evangelion train: http://blog.miyakomokei.com/?p=5370 It's a beauty, isn't it? Really vivid colours! What i really don't like is the coupler... Look at that horrid spacing... An elephant could fall through that.. Anyway to change this? Link to comment
Densha Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yes there is, you can refit them with Tomix TN couplers. I know Toni posted something about that somewhere but I can't find it at the moment. At least I could find this link he sent me sometime, but I'm not entirely sure if you exactly need this kind of mounting with this train too: http://blog.goo.ne.jp/manabunn2009/e/9f62a8687e4e29002b85e06f7ea3f54e Link to comment
bill937ca Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) This Series 201 Universal Studios Japan painted train popped up on You Tube today. It dates from last fall and runs on the JR West Yumesaki line.

cteno4 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Wow that's quite an eye catcher! Totally wrapped! Expect the licensing is not cheap on this one, but would be good advertising for the park! Wonder if this will ever get done? Jeff Edited June 13, 2013 by cteno4 Link to comment
Martijn Meerts Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 In light of my recent increased interest in Japanese H0j and H0e, I hope MicroAce is NOT getting a license to do a model of this one ;) Link to comment
bill937ca Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Looks like it went into service February 1, 2013, although I see references to it in October 2012. http://www.usj.co.jp/news/2013/0131_1.html Edited June 13, 2013 by bill937ca Link to comment

But they do make these trains just too attractive for the pocket book. Edited June 13, 2013 by bill937ca Link to comment

Densha Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Never expected to see a 201 series with ads like these in 2013. That said I hope they'll stay in service there for some years so I can catch one when I get to Japan. Link to comment

cteno4 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 universal studios japan has been open since 2001, the harry potter attraction there happens in 2014. i think the first train from 2012 was for the park with the hello kitty, snoopy, and sesame street characters and the new one now is for the new harry potter attraction coming there in 2014. jeff Link to comment
cteno4 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 not seen this one before i think jeff Link to comment
bill937ca Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 There's not one but two Universal Studios painted trains. The second is the Harry Potter train, the first Sesame Street characters.. Just for reference here they are side by side. http://www.tetsudo.com/event/7568/picture/7882/ Harry Potter train Seasme Street train Link to comment
Densha Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 not seen this one before i think jeff That's the Anpanman ressha, JR Shikoku has several trains with Anpanman ads: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%83%91%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9E%E3%83%B3%E5%88%97%E8%BB%8A Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Ouch... Now that 201 Universal Studios train is a beauty! Absolautely sweet! The Mrs love it too! So got 'license' and permit to buy this train, if it does come out on model though... MicroAce please? Link to comment
bill937ca Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thomas the Tank Engine, Keihan. http://youtu.be/-E9pEvgQiKo Link to comment
Densha Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 That looks a bit weird with the two cab cars having ads and the two middle cars in normal Keihan livery. Link to comment
